Managing stored-product insect pests by heating the ambient air of a food-processing facility to high temperatures (50-60 degrees C), also referred to as heat treatment, is an effective technology that has been used since the early 1900s. The minimum temperature during heat treatment for effective disinfestation is 50 degrees C. The effect of sublethal exposures to 50 degrees C on the reproductive performance of stored-product insects associated with food-processing facilities is unknown. The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), is a pest commonly found in food-processing facilities worldwide. The adverse effects on fecundity, egg-to-adult survival, and progeny production of T. castaneum exposed as 1-d-old pupae and 2-wk-old adults to 50 degrees C for 60 and 39 min, respectively, were determined in the laboratory. Pupae and adults exposed for the same time periods at 28 degrees C served as the control treatment. Four possible reciprocal crosses were carried out among adults from the heat-treated (50 degrees C) and control (28 degrees C) treatments. The number of eggs produced during the first 2 wk of adult life, survival of these eggs to adulthood, and adult progeny production after 2 and 8 wk of oviposition in treatments representing all four reciprocal crosses were determined. Fecundity, egg-to-adult survival, and adult progeny production decreased by 17-63, 52-63, and 66-78%, respectively, when males, females, and both males and females were exposed to 50 degrees C. These effects were relatively more pronounced in treatments in which pupae were exposed to the high temperature compared to adults, and in exposed females than in males. The impaired reproductive performance in T. castaneum pupae and adults surviving sublethal exposures to the minimum heat treatment temperature is valuable for understanding population rebound following a heat treatment intervention. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the rise in colonic temperature (Tc) during nonexertional heat stress is exaggerated in senescent (SEN, 24 mo, n = 12) vs. mature (MAT, 12 mo, n = 15) conscious unrestrained Fischer 344 rats. On 2 separate days (48 h apart) each SEN and MAT animal was exposed to an ambient temperature (Ta) of 42 degrees C (relative humidity 20%) until a Tc of 41 degrees C was attained and then cooled at a Ta of 26 degrees C until Tc returned to the initial control level. Control Tc was similar in the two groups for both trials. The rate of Tc change during heating was 63% greater (0.070 +/- 0.005 vs. 0.043 +/- 0.004 degrees C/min, P less than 0.05) and the time to 41 degrees C reduced by 36% (54 +/- 6 vs. 85 +/- 10 min, P less than 0.05) in MAT vs. SEN animals during the first exposure, although the cooling rate was slower in the MAT (0.048 +/- 0.004 degrees C/min) vs. SEN (0.062 +/- 0.006 degrees C/min) animals (P less than 0.05). The heating rate was unchanged in MAT animals between trials 1 and 2. However, SEN animals had a 95% increase in heating rate in trial 2 compared with trial 1 (P less than 0.05), and the corresponding time to 41 degrees C was decreased by 44% (P less than 0.05). As a result, rate of heating and time to 41 degrees C were similar in the two groups during trial 2. The cooling rate was similar between trials within each group.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

When Tetrahymena thermophila cells growing at 30 degrees C are shifted to either 40 or 43 degrees C, the kinetics and extent of induction of heat shock mRNAs in both cases are virtually indistinguishable. However, the cells shifted to 40 degrees C show a typical induction of heat shock protein (HSP) synthesis and survive indefinitely (100% after 24 h), whereas those at 43 degrees C show an abortive synthesis of HSPs and die (less than 0.01% survivors) within 1 h. Cells treated at 30 degrees C with the drugs cycloheximide or emetine, at concentrations which are initially inhibitory to protein synthesis and cell growth but from which cells can eventually recover and resume growth, are after this recovery able to survive a direct shift from 30 to 43 degrees C (ca. 70% survival after 1 h). This induction of thermotolerance by these drugs is as efficient in providing thermoprotection to cells as is a prior sublethal heat treatment which elicits the synthesis of HSPs. However, during the period when drug-treated cells recover their protein synthesis ability and simultaneously acquire the ability to subsequently survive a shift to 43 degrees C, none of the major HSPs are synthesized. The ability to survive a 1-h, 43 degrees C heat treatment, therefore, does not absolutely require the prior synthesis of HSPs. But, as extended survival at 43 degrees Celsius depends absolutely on the ability of cells to continually synthesize HSPs, it appears that a prior heat shock as well as the recovery from protein synthesis inhibition elicits a change in the protein synthetic machinery which allows the translation of HSP mRNAs at what would otherwise be a nonpermissive temperature for protein synthesis. 相似文献

Previous animal models of heat stress have been compromised by methodologies, such as restraint and anesthesia, that have confounded our understanding of the core temperature (T(c)) responses elicited by heat stress. Using biotelemetry, we developed a heat stress model to examine T(c) responses in conscious, unrestrained C57BL/6J male mice. Before heat stress, mice were acclimated for >4 wk to an ambient temperature (T(a)) of 25 degrees C. Mice were exposed to T(a) of 39.5 +/- 0.2 degrees C, in the absence of food and water, until they reached maximum T(c) of 42.4 (n = 11), 42.7 (n = 12), or 43.0 degrees C (n = 11), defined as mild, moderate, and extreme heat stress, respectively. Heat stress induced an approximately 13% body weight loss that did not differ by final group T(c); however, survival rate was affected by final T(c) (100% at 42.4 degrees C, 92% at 42.7 degrees C, and 46% at 43 degrees C). Hypothermia (T(c) < 34.5 degrees C) developed after heat stress, with the depth and duration of hypothermia significantly enhanced in the moderate and extreme compared with the mild group. Regardless of heat stress severity, every mouse that transitioned out of hypothermia (survivors only) developed a virtually identical elevation in T(c) the next day, but not night, compared with nonheated controls. To test the effect of the recovery T(a), a group of mice (n = 5) were acclimated for >4 wk and recovered at T(a) of 30 degrees C after moderate heat stress. Recovery at 30 degrees C resulted in 0% survival within approximately 2 h after cessation of heat stress. Using biotelemetry to monitor T(c) in the unrestrained mouse, we show that recovery from acute heat stress is associated with prolonged hypothermia followed by an elevation in daytime T(c) that is dependent on T(a). These thermoregulatory responses to heat stress are key biomarkers that may provide insight into heat stroke pathophysiology. 相似文献

Susceptibility of Lasioderma serricorne (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) life stages to elevated temperatures used during structural heat treatments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Heat treatment of food-processing facilities involves using elevated temperatures (50-60 degrees C for 24-36 h) for management of stored-product insects. Heat treatment is a viable alternative to the fumigant methyl bromide, which is phased out in the United States as of 2005 because of its adverse effects on the stratospheric ozone. Very little is known about responses of the cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae), a pest associated with food-processing facilities, to elevated temperatures. Responses of L. serricorne life stages to elevated temperatures were evaluated to identify the most heat-tolerant stage. Exposure of eggs, young larvae, old larvae, and adults during heat treatment of a food-processing facility did not clearly show a life stage to be heat tolerant. In the laboratory, exposure of eggs, young larvae, old larvae, pupae, and adults at fixed times to 46, 50, and 54 degrees C and 22% RH indicated eggs to be the most heat-tolerant stage. Time-mortality responses at each of these three temperatures showed that the time for 99% mortality (LT99) based on egg hatchability and egg-to-adult emergence was not significantly different from one another at each temperature. Egg hatchability alone can be used to determine susceptibility to elevated temperatures between 46 and 54 degrees C. The LT99 based on egg hatchability and egg-to-adult emergence at 46 degrees C was 605 and 598 min, respectively, and it decreased to 190 and 166 min at 50 degrees C and 39 and 38 min at 54 degrees C. An exponential decay equation best described LT99 as a function of temperature for pooled data based on egg hatchability and egg-to-adult emergence. Our results suggest that during structural heat treatments eggs should be used in bioassays for gauging heat treatment effectiveness, because treatments aimed at controlling eggs should be able to control all other L. serricorne life stages. 相似文献

Vacuum-packaged poultry cooked sausages were pressure-treated at 500 MPa by combinations of time (5-45 min) and temperature (2-80 degrees C) and later stored at 6-8 degrees C for 12 we. Mesophile and psychrotrophe counts were determined 1 d, 3, 6, 9 and 12 we after treatment and compared with those of cooked sausages pasteurized at 80-85 degrees C for 40 min. Both pressure and heat treatments offer great possibilities for preservation. Sausages pressurized at 65 degrees C for 15 min showed mesophile numbers below 2 log cfu g(-1) throughout the chill storage. Pressurization, unlike heat treatment, causes a reversible bacterial stress. Thus, injured cells recovered during storage and, at 6 and 12 we, after a temperature abuse (room temperature for approx. 24 h), counts increased up to 6.5 - 7.5 log units. Psychrotrophes were more sensitive to both treatments; no growth was detected the day after (a lethality of more than 4 log units). 相似文献

This study determined the role of body temperature during exercise on cytochrome-c oxidase (CytOx) activity, a marker of mitochondrial content, and mitochondrial heat shock protein 70 (mtHSP70), which is required for import of nuclear-coded preproteins. Male, 10-wk-old, Sprague-Dawley rats exercised identically for 9 wk in ambient temperatures of 23 degrees C (n = 10), 8 degrees C with wetted fur (n = 8), and 4 degrees C with wetted fur and fan (n = 7). These conditions maintained exercising core temperature (T(c)) at 40.4, 39.2, or 38.0 degrees C (resting temperature), respectively. During weeks 3-9, exercisers ran 5 days/wk up a 6% grade at 20 m/min for 60 min. Animals were housed at 23 degrees C. Gastrocnemius CytOx activity in T(c)=38.0 degrees C (83.5 +/- 5.5 microatoms O x min(-1) x g wet wt(-1)) was greater than all other groups (P < 0.05), exceeding sedentary (n = 7) by 73.2%. T(c) of 40.4 and 39.2 degrees C also were higher than sedentary by 22.4 and 37.4%, respectively (P < 0.05). Quantification of CytOx content verified that the increased activity was due to an increase in protein content. In extensor digitorum longus, a nonactive muscle, CytOx was not elevated in T(c) = 38.0 degrees C. mtHSP70 was significantly elevated in gastrocnemius of T(c) = 38.0 degrees C compared with sedentary (P < 0.05) but was not elevated in extensor digitorum longus (P > 0.05). The data indicate that decreasing exercise T(c) may enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and that mtHSP70 expression is not dependent on temperature. 相似文献

AIM: To determine the effect of selected physical and chemical treatments on the survival of 'blown pack'-causing Clostridium estertheticum. METHODS AND RESULTS: The study investigated the survival of the spores of 'blown pack'-causing C. estertheticum following the four treatments, which include: heat alone, ultrasound followed by heat treatment, peroxyacetic acid (POAA)-based sanitizer followed by heat treatment and POAA sanitizer followed by heat treatment in the presence of 20% animal fat. No C. estertheticum survivors were recovered in spore preparations that underwent either of the two treatments with the sanitizer, resulting in the inactivation of 4 to 5 log CFU ml(-1) of spores. Similarly, no survivors were detected in spore preparations that were treated with the sanitizer for 5 min at room temperature without further heat treatment. When using heat alone and ultrasound followed by heat treatment, complete spore inactivation did not occur for spores heated at times and temperature combinations other than 240 s at 100 degrees C. CONCLUSIONS: POAA sanitizer used with or without heat is capable of in vitro inactivation of at least 4 log CFU ml(-1)C. estertheticum spores. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The data generated in the study provide background information for controlling 'blown pack'-causing clostridia on dressed carcasses and in meat plant environment. 相似文献

Spores of five type B, five type E, and two type F strains of nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum were inoculated into tubes of an anaerobic meat medium plus lysozyme to give approximately 10(6) spores per tube. Sets of tubes were then subjected to a heat treatment, cooled, and incubated at 6, 8, 10, 12, and 25 degrees C for up to 60 days. Treatments equivalent to heating at 65 degrees C for 364 min, 70 degrees C for 8 min, and 75 degrees C for 27 min had little effect on growth and toxin formation. After a treatment equivalent to heating at 85 degrees C for 23 min, growth occurred at 6 and 8 degrees C within 28 to 40 days. After a treatment equivalent to heating at 80 degrees C for 19 min, growth occurred in some tubes at 6, 8, 10, or 12 degrees C within 28 to 53 days and at 25 degrees C in all tubes within 15 days. Following a treatment equivalent to heating at 95 degrees C for 15 mine, growth was detected in some tubes incubated at 25 degrees C for fewer than 60 days but not in tubes incubated at 6 to 12 degrees C. The results indicate that heat treatment of processed foods equivalent to maintenance at 85 degrees C for 19 min combined with storage below 12 degrees C and a shelf life of not more than 28 days would reduce the risk of growth from spores of nonproteolytic C. botulinum by a factor of 10(6).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

AIMS: To determine whether diurnal and seasonal variations in campylobacters in surface waters result from the effects of temperature and u.v. radiation, and whether natural populations of Campylobacter lari and urease-positive thermophilic campylobacters (UPTC) from birds survive better in surface waters than Camp. jejuni from sewage. METHODS AND RESULTS: Natural populations of Camp. lari and UPTC in sea water, and Camp. jejuni in river water, were exposed to artificial sunlight (equivalent to a sunny day in June). Both populations became non-culturable within 30 min, with T90s of 15 min and 25 min, respectively. Cultures of Camp. jejuni became non-culturable within 40 min and those of Camp. coli, Camp. lari and UPTC, within 60 min. In darkness, survival was temperature-dependent. Natural populations took 12 h at 37 degrees C and 5 days at 4 degrees C to become non-culturable in sea water, and slightly less in river water. Cultures of Camp. lari and UPTCs survived for significantly longer than Camp. jejuni and Camp. coli. Loss of culturability for all isolates was most rapid at 37 degrees C and slowest at 4 degrees C. Newly isolated strains from sea water and river water behaved in an almost identical manner to NCTC strains. CONCLUSION: Campylobacter lari and UPTCs survive for longer in surface waters than Camp. jejuni and Camp. coli, particularly in the dark. Low Campylobacter numbers in coastal waters in the summer, especially in the afternoon, are due to the combined effects of higher temperatures and higher levels of u.v. radiation. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Campylobacter lari and UPTCs from birds predominate in bathing waters in Morecambe Bay because they are better able to survive; they also originate from closer to the shore than Camp. jejuni and Camp. coli in sewage effluent, which survive poorly and die before the incoming tide reaches the shore. The predominance of Camp. jejuni in river water results from its dominance of the inputs and not from its ability to survive. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of pasteurisation, as set by the European regulation EC 1774/2002, on selected pathogens and indicator organisms. Unpasteurised substrate (biowaste), including animal by-products from a full-scale biogas plant was heat treated under laboratory conditions at 70 degrees C and 55 degrees C for 30 min and 60 min. Heat treatment at 55 degrees C for 60 min was not sufficient to achieve a hygienically acceptable product. Heat treatment at 70 degrees C for 30 min and 60 min was effective in reducing pathogenic bacteria, Ascaris suum eggs, Swine vesicular disease virus and indicator organisms. However, this level of pasteurisation will still not reduce the quantity of Clostridia spores, or completely inactivate heat-resistant viruses such as Porcine parvovirus or Salmonella phage 28B. The results still give cause for some concern regarding the use of digested residue from biogasplants in agriculture. 相似文献

One widely accepted explanation of injury from slow freezing is that damage results when the concentration of electrolyte reaches a critical level in partly frozen solutions during freezing. We have conducted experiments on human red cells to further test this hypothesis. Cells were suspended in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0-3 M glycerol, held for 30 min at 20 degrees C to permit solute permeation, and frozen at 0.5 or 1.7 degrees C/min to various temperatures between -2 and -100 degrees C. Upon reaching the desired minimum temperature, the samples were warmed at rates ranging from 1 to 550 degrees C/min and the percent hemolysis was determined. The results for a cooling rate of 1.7 degrees C/min indicate the following: (a) Between 0.5 and 1.85 M glycerol, the temperature yielding 50% hemolysis (LT50) drops slowly from -18 to -35 degrees C. (b) The LT50's over this range of concentrations are relatively independent of warming rate. (c) With glycerol concentrations of 1.95 and 2.0 M, the LT50 drops abruptly to -60 degrees C and to below -100 degrees C, respectively, and becomes dependent on warming rate. The LT50 is lower with slow warming at 1 degree C/min than with rapid. With still higher concentrations (2.5 and 3.0 M), there is no LT50, i.e., more than 50% of the cells survive freezing to-100 degrees C. Results for cooling at 0.5 degrees C/min in 2 M glycerol were similar except that the LT50s were some 10-20 degrees C higher. A companion paper (Rall et al., Biophys. J. 23:101-120, 1978) examines the relation between survival and the concentrations of salts produced during freezing. 相似文献

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells became thermotolerant after treatment with either heat for 10 min at 45.5 degrees C or incubation in 100 microM sodium arsenite for 1 h at 37 degrees C. Thermotolerance was tested using heat treatment at 45 degrees C or 43 degrees C administered 6-12 h after the inducing agent. At 45 degrees C thermotolerance ratios at 10(-2) isosurvival levels were 4.2 and 3.8 for heat and sodium arsenite, respectively. Recovery from heat damage as measured by resumption of protein synthesis was more rapid in heat-induced thermotolerant cells than in either sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells or nonthermotolerant cells. Differences in inhibition of protein synthesis between heat-induced thermotolerant cells and sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells were also evident after test heating at 43 degrees C for 5 h. At this temperature heat-induced thermotolerant cells were protected immediately from inhibition of protein synthesis, whereas sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerant cells, while initially suppressed, gradually recovered within 24 h. Furthermore, adding cycloheximide during the thermotolerance development period greatly inhibited sodium arsenite-induced thermotolerance (SF less than 10(-6] but not heat-induced thermotolerance (SF = 1.7 X 10(-1] when tested with 43 degrees C for 5 h. Our results suggest that both the development of thermotolerance and the thermotolerant state for the two agents, while similar in terms of survival, differed significantly for several parameters associated with protein synthesis. 相似文献

Post-thaw functional status of boar spermatozoa cryopreserved using three controlled rate freezers: a comparison 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
This study compared variation in the quality of cryopreserved boar spermatozoa and the control and accuracy of cooling rates between three semen freezers (CryoLogic Freeze Control CL3000, Planer Products Kryo Save Compact KS1.7/Kryo 10 Control module and a controlled rate 'Watson' freezing machine developed within our laboratory). Five ejaculates were collected from each of 15 boars (five boars from each of three breeds). Semen was diluted into a commercial freezing buffer (700 mOsm/kg, 3% v/v glycerol) and placed into 0.5 ml straws. Three straws per treatment, from each ejaculate were cooled to -5 degrees C at 6 degrees C/min, held at -5 degrees C for 30s while ice crystal formation was induced, then further cooled from -5 to 80 degrees C at either 40 degrees C/min (Kryo Save Compact KS1.7 and Watson) or 6 degrees C/min (Freeze Control CL3000). Precise measurements of temperature fluctuations during the programmed cooling curves were made by inserting thermocouples into the semen filled straws. Semen was assessed for %motile cells, motility characteristics using computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA), plasma membrane integrity (%SYBR-14 positive stained spermatozoa) and acrosome integrity (%FITC-PNA positive stained spermatozoa). Spermatozoa cryopreserved using the Freeze Control CL3000 system (maximum rate of 6 degrees C/min) exhibited reduced post-thaw viability (14.2+/-2.8% mean plasma membrane intact spermatozoa) when compared to both the KS1.7 and Watson freezers (optimal rate of 40 degrees C/min) (18.4+/-3.2 and 25.7+/-3.7% mean plasma membrane intact spermatozoa, respectively). Differences in motility characteristics were observed between spermatozoa cryopreserved at 40 degrees C/min with the Watson apparatus preserving a larger proportion of sperm with progressive motility. Cooling curves in the CL3000 and KS1.7 were interrupted by a pronounced increase in temperature at -5 degrees C that corresponded with the latent heat of fusion released with ice crystal formation. This temperature change was significantly reduced in the cooling curves produced by the Watson freezer. These findings suggest that preserving spermatozoa using the Watson freezer improved post-thaw semen quality, with regard to sperm motility characteristics. Furthermore, that post-thaw semen viability was enhanced by minimising temperature fluctuations resulting from the release of the latent heat of fusion at ice crystal formation. 相似文献

An induction-type radiofrequency generator was used to heat thigh implants of the VX2 rabbit carcinoma. The tumor temperature could be easily raised to over 50 degrees C, while the temperature of normal adjacent muscle generally remained at about 43 degrees C. The marked hypovascularity of the tumor, as demonstrated angiographically, probably explains this disproportionate hyperthermic reaction to administered heat. Twenty-five untreated rabbits succumbed to their tumors after a mean interval of 38 days. Of 24 rabbits with tumors heated to between 48 and 50 degrees C for 30 to 45 min, 5 (21%) were permanently cured. Of 10 rabbits treated with 1000 R in a single dose, none were cured. Of 12 rabbits treated with 1000 R, followed after 3.5 hr with 30 min of heating to 48-49 degrees C, 11 were locally cured. Thus a synergistic effect between hyperthermia and irradiation was demonstrated. 相似文献

Influence of body temperature on the development of fatigue during prolonged exercise in the heat. 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

We investigated whether fatigue during prolonged exercise in uncompensable hot environments occurred at the same critical level of hyperthermia when the initial value and the rate of increase in body temperature are altered. To examine the effect of initial body temperature [esophageal temperature (Tes) = 35.9 +/- 0.2, 37.4 +/- 0. 1, or 38.2 +/- 0.1 (SE) degrees C induced by 30 min of water immersion], seven cyclists (maximal O2 uptake = 5.1 +/- 0.1 l/min) performed three randomly assigned bouts of cycle ergometer exercise (60% maximal O2 uptake) in the heat (40 degrees C) until volitional exhaustion. To determine the influence of rate of heat storage (0.10 vs. 0.05 degrees C/min induced by a water-perfused jacket), four cyclists performed two additional exercise bouts, starting with Tes of 37.0 degrees C. Despite different initial temperatures, all subjects fatigued at an identical level of hyperthermia (Tes = 40. 1-40.2 degrees C, muscle temperature = 40.7-40.9 degrees C, skin temperature = 37.0-37.2 degrees C) and cardiovascular strain (heart rate = 196-198 beats/min, cardiac output = 19.9-20.8 l/min). Time to exhaustion was inversely related to the initial body temperature: 63 +/- 3, 46 +/- 3, and 28 +/- 2 min with initial Tes of approximately 36, 37, and 38 degrees C, respectively (all P < 0.05). Similarly, with different rates of heat storage, all subjects reached exhaustion at similar Tes and muscle temperature (40.1-40.3 and 40. 7-40.9 degrees C, respectively), but with significantly different skin temperature (38.4 +/- 0.4 vs. 35.6 +/- 0.2 degrees C during high vs. low rate of heat storage, respectively, P < 0.05). Time to exhaustion was significantly shorter at the high than at the lower rate of heat storage (31 +/- 4 vs. 56 +/- 11 min, respectively, P < 0.05). Increases in heart rate and reductions in stroke volume paralleled the rise in core temperature (36-40 degrees C), with skin blood flow plateauing at Tes of approximately 38 degrees C. These results demonstrate that high internal body temperature per se causes fatigue in trained subjects during prolonged exercise in uncompensable hot environments. Furthermore, time to exhaustion in hot environments is inversely related to the initial temperature and directly related to the rate of heat storage. 相似文献

The survival of Salmonella typhimurium after a standard heat challenge at 55 degrees C for 25 min increased by several orders of magnitude when cells grown at 37 degrees C were pre-incubated at 42 degrees, 45 degrees or 48 degrees C before heating at the higher temperature. Heat resistance increased rapidly after the temperature shift, reaching near maximum levels within 30 min. Elevated heat resistance persisted for at least 10 h. Pre-incubation of cells at 48 degrees C for 30 min increased their resistance to subsequent heating at 50 degrees, 52 degrees, 55 degrees, 57 degrees or 59 degrees C. Survival curves of resistant cells were curvilinear. Estimated times for a '7D' inactivation increased by 2.6- to 20-fold compared with cells not pre-incubated before heat challenge. 相似文献

Heat resistance of coliform species isolated from cooked ham, snail flesh, and 'bouchées à la reine'
AIMS: In this study, the heat resistance of coliform species isolated from cooked ham and ready-made meals was determined. METHODS AND RESULTS: Thirteen coliform strains belonging to 12 different species were studied using laboratory medium in order to determine delta (first decimal reduction time) and z(T) values (temperature increase leading to a 10-fold reduction of delta) using the Weibull model. For seven strains, delta-values were determined at temperatures ranging from 55 to 60 degrees C, with, delta values between 0.52 and 2.98 min, at 59 degrees C. For the other six strains, lower temperature values were determined with delta-values ranging from 0.47 to 1.64 min at 54 degrees C. z(T) values calculated for the 13 strains were 3.1 to 7.5 degrees C. For eight strains, plotting of the log of survivors was not linear but rather showed shoulders or shoulders and tails. CONCLUSIONS: Coliform species were sensitive to heat treatment with a decimal reduction time under 2 min at 60 degrees C. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The better knowledge of coliform heat resistance by determining thermal resistance parameters with confidence intervals will be useful for evaluating the efficiency of industrial thermal processes. 相似文献

Intracellular particle movements, of both saltatory and streaming types, in HeLa S-3 cells were simultaneously interrupted after 1 h exposure of cells to 43 degrees C, within 10 min at 44 degrees C and within 5 min at 45 degrees C. Intracellular movement inhibited after 15 min at 44 degrees C and 10 min at 45 degrees C was not reversible in cells rescued at 37 degrees C. Brownian motion was not observed in heat-treated cells while they were maintained at elevated temperatures, but became pronounced in blebbing which occurred shortly after they were returned to 37 degrees C. Returning these cells to 45 degrees C intensified the Brownian activity inside blebs, and rapidly induced cell lysis. The same heat-treated cells were simultaneously studied by laser-Doppler microscopy, which confirmed: a) that flow (cytoplasmic streaming) is completely arrested at 44 degrees C within 10 min, b) flow recovered in 10-15 min in cells rescued after 10-15 min at 44 degrees C, c) submicroscopic particles down to the size of water molecules had faster self-diffusion coefficients at 44 degrees C than at 37 degrees C. Proton nmr studies on cells exposed from 4 to 45 degrees C gave corrected relaxation times T1 and T2 which rose with temperature in a predictable manner. Inhibition of cellular movement at elevated temperatures was not specifically attributable to the depletion of intracellular ATP levels. 相似文献

Larvae of the sea urchin, Evechinus chloroticus, at varying stages of development, were assessed for their potential to survive cryopreservation. Ethylene glycol (EG) and dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO), at concentrations of 1-2 M, were evaluated as cryoprotectants (CPAs) in freezing regimes initially based on methods established for freezing larvae of other sea urchin species. Subsequent work varied cooling rate, holding temperature, holding time, and plunge temperature. Ethylene glycol was less toxic to larvae than Me2SO. However, no larvae survived freezing and thawing in EG. Larvae frozen in Me2SO at the gastrula stage and 4-armed pluteus stage regained motility post-thawing. The most successful freezing regime cooled straws containing larvae in 1.5 M Me2SO from 0 to -35 degrees C at 2.5 degrees C min(-1), held at -35 degrees C for 5 min, then plunged straws into liquid nitrogen. Motility was high 2-4 h post-thawing using this regime but decreased markedly within 24 h. Some 4-armed pluteus larvae that survived beyond this time developed through to metamorphosis and settled. Different Me2SO concentrations and supplementary trehalose did not improve long-term survival. Large variation in post-thaw survival was observed among batches of larvae produced from different females. 相似文献
